Exploring the fluid borders between the body and its environment, Germany-based Indonesian performance artist Melati Suryodarmo will be opening her first solo exhibition in Kuala Lumpur with a piece entitled "I Love You" at Central Market Annexe on 17 April 2008.
Interacting and moving with a glass platform, Suryodarmo repeats, "I love you!" for the duration of the two-hour long performance.
In tandem with the opening act, the exhibition will showcase selected documentations of Suryodarmo's past performances in photography and video.
Documented works include performance photographs from her Death series, as well as video excerpts of Exergie - butter dance, My Fingers Are the Triggers and her most recent work Perception of Pattern in Timeless Influence.
Absurd yet poignant, this landmark event will introduce the KL art scene to one of the most promising and relevant artist working in the performance medium.
Suryodarmo will also be conducting two workshops on performance art during her visit; Workshop I on 19 April 2008 at the Central Market Annexe and Workshop II on 20 April 2008 at Rimbun Dahan Artist Residency.

Friedman Benda Gallery, in conjunction with Josh Baer and Demisch Danant, present In Their Own Words, an exhibition of photography, sculpture, furniture and architecture captioned by the artists' own words.
Each work has been selected for the way it questions accepted notions of politics, mass culture, or production.
Some works respond to a changing social order, others challenge the notion of artistic expression.
In Their Own Words elicits recognition of the artist's initial concept and therefore examines the current understanding of those same ideas.
By exhibiting these works alongside the artist's own words, the impetus of creation is revealed and original intentions confront the realized works, often showing the irony of hindsight.
Furthermore, by exhibiting art and what is traditionally thought of as "design" together, the exhibition dissolves the long held division between the fields and provokes the debate on the cultural significance and authority currently assigned to each.
In Their Own Words includes quotations and works from some of the most creative and influential voices of the past century, including: Ron Arad, Hans Bellmer, Jurgen Bey, Alighiero E Boetti, Lee Bontecou, Marcel Breuer, Charles Eames, Pentagon Group, Jeff Koons, Jackson Pollock, Jean Prouvé, Gerrit Rietveld, Richard Serra, Ettore Sottsass, Tato, Rosemarie Trockel, Lawrence Weiner, and Kehinde Wiley.

Derek Weisberg's sculptures are inspired by the classical imagery of a time when art was created for the inspiration of the people to connect with the divine.
Within the pursuit of artisan craftmanship, Derek's figures are captured in moments of contemplation, anguish and the search for meaning and comprehension of being human during challenging times.

New Life Berlin is a contemporary art festival dedicated to new modes of moving and existing.
Curated from participatory art community Wooloo, New Life Berlin aims to connect the critical resources of a global network of artists with a specific geographical location of importance to today's cultural production.
New Life Berlin is taking place in Berlin, Germany from June 1-15 2008.
In opposition to traditional art festivals and biennials, the New Life Berlin artistic program is open to participation from international artists throughout the festival period.
By keeping participation open - while still curated - it is the intent of the curatorial team to test the critical value of the much discussed online community, while simultaneously serving as an investigative platform for a fluid cultural landscape that can no longer be controlled by any centralized apparatus.
